Unraced for Aidan O'Brien and only made his debut in June, winning a 1m2f Sandown maiden (good to soft); even better form in defeat, notably when contesting his first Group race and unlucky not to have won at Haydock 20 days ago (1m, good; first-time tongue-tie); this is unlikely to be so muddling as that with a truer pace likely on this stiffer track; not yet exposed, he's in the mix.

reared start and slowly into stride, took keen hold, held up in last, switched right and raced wide over 4f out, soon headway and joined leader, quickened and led clearly over 1f out, ridden and kept on well final furlong, comfortably |

9st 5lb |
Galileo 4yo who didn't make the track for Aidan O'Brien; easy win at 40-1 on belated debut at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) in June; fair efforts in tough races the next twice (1m2f/1m1f) and, while improvement is needed today, he's shaped as though this drop to 1m is well worth a go; tongue-tie added. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (7) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Galileo colt who was unraced for Aidan O'Brien; promising for Dylan Cunha, having shown useful form over 1m2f at Sandown (good/good to soft), winning a maiden in great style then fourth of six upped to Listed grade (shaped as if this drop in trip will suit); interesting with further improvement highly plausible. |

Rain welcomed as there was ease underfoot when completing a Listed/Group 3/Group 2 hat-trick over this trip last season; failed to exploit an easy lead when overhauled late on by Ice Max at Goodwood two runs back (1m, soft) but he was conceding the winner 6lb; a player on that form, and he ran perfectly well in a Group 2 at Leopardstown 13 days ago on ground that would have been quick enough.

Runner-up in last season's Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket; has drawn a blank this year (kicked off in the Guineas) but, tongue tied the last twice, he's not enjoyed the clearest of passages in two Group 3s and was closing on Lead Artist at Goodwood in the penultimate one; all runs on good or faster but there's hope on breeding that some give underfoot could benefit; respected.

3rd 10 (4) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September and reappeared with seventh of 11 in the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); kept on for fair seventh of 19 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time and this step back up in to 1m may well be the right move; not discounted in a first-time tongue-tie. |

The ground has been softer than good for all five wins, the latest Goodwood's Group 2 Celebration Mile in which he conceded first run to Poker Face but wore him down late on; 5lb worse off with the winner but can finish strongly up the hill; big shout.
